Abstract:

In 1972, the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory USAARL established the Aviation Life Support Equipment Retrieval Program ALSERP. The purpose of this program is to evaluate the effectiveness of aviation protective equipment in an aircraft accident environment and to contribute to the improvement of this equipment through modification or development of new design criteria. Department of the Army Pamphlet 385-40, Army Accident Investigation and Reporting, requires all life support equipment which is in any way implicated in the cause or prevention of injury be shipped to USAARL for analysis. This report analyzes the first impact damaged HGU-56P recovered from a recent Army aviation mishap involving an AH-6J helicopter.
